This 'Aztec Royalty' necklace by Maria Belen Nilson is a captivating accessory that celebrates pre-Hispanic artistry. The original necklace features stylized sterling silver glyphs, with polished contours that contrast with the emblematic dark finish that comes from skilled oxidizing processes. This piece is a beautiful example of Maria's dedication to preserving techniques like lost wax, embossing, and die-cutting while maintaining impeccable quality standards.
Born in Río Cuarto, Argentina in 1954, this designer has made Mexico her lifelong home and muse. After moving there at 21, she began teaching literature before discovering her passion for silver in the famed jewelry town of Taxco. Following her divorce, she established her own workshop to provide for her three daughters, learning from master silversmiths and drawing inspiration from Mexican culture, traditions, and the work of Frida Kahlo. Over time, she developed collections such as Mexican Drama and Texture and Purity, which explore the emotional and cultural richness of her adopted country. Today, her workshop sustains seven families, preserving techniques like lost wax, embossing, and die-cutting while maintaining impeccable quality standards. For her, silver is more than a medium — it is a vessel for passion, patience, and resilience. Guided by love for Mexico, she continues to create jewelry that carries both tradition and spirit to clients worldwide.
Handcrafted in Mexico from sterling silver, this link necklace measures 17 inches in length and 0.6 inches in width. It is signed by the artist and secures with a toggle clasp.
